- About Me:
- I'm 54 yrs old. I had 3 children, now 2. I was a stay at home mom and enjoyed raising my children. After they were all in school I went back to college and started working. My life was all about the kids. My husband is very busy at work, he is a teacher and a wrestling coach. We are a very family orientated parents. My oldest daughter is a career orientated person. She is wonderful and one of my best friends. My middle daughter is also a teacher and is married to a teacher. They just had their first child. A baby girl that is just beautiful.
- About my Loss:
- My son was 27 years old and had moved back home to continue his education. He was such a fun loving person. He was killed in a hit and run crime this summer on July 23rd, 2012. He was killed instantly. They found the driver and the hearing is coming up in May. My love for my son is very profound. I miss him every day. There is a hole in my heart because I have lost one of my children. I cry all the time and find it very hard not to be sad.

My Fathers Loss
Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide
If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More

Welcome Toni, So So sorry about your wonderful son..!
I so hope you find comfort here with others that truly do understand and feel your pain. Hugs from one broken mom to another. Brad's Mom ---- Karen
Hey Toni, I just read your message to all members and let me say I cry with you. I know your pain all too well. I can relate to what you said about time only making things worse, NOT "better". I must have said that a thousand times. My 21 yr old son was robbed of his young life almost 2 1/2 yrs ago and my pain and my anger has not eased 1 bit. He was riding his friend's motorcycle when he was chased and rammed into another vehicle. He survived in ICU for 1 week before he passed away. Just saying, writing, typing or even thinking those words "my son passed away", still blows my mind and seems so unreal. I will NEVER accept this........how could I? It will never be "OK", as people would like me to believe. This is a tortuous pain, and I have more bad days than good......whatever good is. I don't know how I have survived this long and I am sorry that I don't have any encouraging words, except, keep writing on this site or others like it, because it means a lot to have your feelings validated and not judged by others that sincerely but unfortunately understand. I will forever be broken. Sending many hugs to you!
